Shen Yuyao's heart has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.

It's still bang bang bang, beating very fast at this moment.

She put down the wine glass in her hand, walked suddenly to Xia Xiaoxian, and looked downstairs following the dancing little hand.

At the gate of Zuixianlou, a nobleman was bowing to greet two men who were about to jump off their horses.

Shen Yuyao took a closer look and found that these were the second and third princes.

The second prince, Prince of Jin, Xia Cong, and the third prince, Prince of Qin, Xia Jing!

It has been rumored in the court that the two princes have different personalities and do not interact with each other.

Now, they all appear in Zuixian Tower at the same time. They must have some plan!

Shen Yuyao remembered.

The third prince, Prince of Qin, Xia Jing, was summoned back to Kyoto some time ago and once saved Xu Yunxuan from the pond in the imperial garden.

The King of Qin returned to the capital openly.

However, there was no news in the palace that the second prince, Prince of Jin Xia Cong, had been summoned back to the capital.

The Second Prince, Prince of Jin, should obviously be in his fiefdom. Why did he appear in the capital this time? Could it be that he was secretly summoned back by the emperor?

It seems that nothing major is happening in the court right now, and the two princes are recalled to Beijing at the same time. There is only one possibility, there is a war on the border!

When she thought of the border, Shen Yuyao's heart beat faster.

Her two brothers were both guarding the border at the time, so she had to find a way to find out why the two princes had responded to the imperial edict and returned to the capital at the same time.

[The King of Qin and the King of Jin, this perfect match! ]

[One is fake bad, the other is really bad! ]

[On the surface, the King of Qin is desperately pursuing the path to immortality, while the King of Jin loves money like his life. ]

[Secretly, the two princes were staring at the chair.]

Shen Yuyao had also heard that the two princes had their own preferences. Even the current emperor had said that although the two princes had their own shortcomings, they had both experienced many battles and had made contributions to the country.

But Shen Yuyao knew that it was easier for the emperor to control people with flaws.

The emperor was very wary of people like Ning Wang Xia Yu, who did not appear to have any major shortcomings.

Therefore, unless there is a national mourning, there is almost no possibility that Prince Ning will be recalled to Beijing!

Listening to what Xiao Xianbao said, it seems that these two princes are not what we usually see.

As he was deep in thought, Xu Yunxuan came to the window and saw the two princes downstairs.

"Eh? Hello..."

Xu Yunxuan was about to shout out, but Shen Yuyao suddenly covered her mouth with her hand.

Shen Yuyao signaled Xu Yunxuan not to make a sound, and the master and servants continued to hide behind the window frame and peek.

"Isn't that the person who saved me in the Imperial Garden?"

Xu Yunxuan lowered her voice.

"It's him, Prince Qin Xia Jing!"

Shen Yuyao answered in a hoarse voice.

"You and I are both his sisters-in-law, we have to avoid suspicion!"

Xu Yunxuan then seemed to be thinking about something, nodded, and stopped asking questions.

Downstairs, King Qin seemed to have heard Xu Yunxuan's cry, and he looked toward the window on the second floor.

I clearly heard a call, but there was no one there.

The King of Qin had delicate facial features and a high nose bridge, and he also had a handsome appearance.

He and Ning Wang Xia Yu are brothers from the same mother, and his features are somewhat similar to Ning Wang's, but he is colder.

Although his eyes were full of doubt, he did not say anything.

The Prince of Jin was greeting the young man who came to greet him.

"Third brother, this is the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Lu Yuan!"

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty the Prince of Qin..."

The King of Qin nodded slightly, then walked into the Zuixian Tower with the King of Jin.

[If these people gather together, hundreds of officials in the Great Xia Dynasty will lose their heads! ]

[The King of Qin is a prince seeking immortality in public, but secretly he is the leader of the Emperor's Black Dragon Guard! ]

【Prince Jin was the instigator of the frame-up of the Duke's Mansion.】

[Alas, being an official in the Great Xia Dynasty is truly the most dangerous profession! ]

Shen Yuyao was somewhat glad that she had decided to leave the palace today.

Fortunately, I brought Xiao Xianbao out of the palace and happened to meet these two princes whom I couldn't see on weekdays.

Xiao Xianbao was able to reveal the mastermind behind the frame-up of the Duke's Mansion!

A cold light flashed in Shen Yuyao's eyes. Although the Duke's Mansion had changed its fate, she and her parents were now far apart, all thanks to the Prince of Jin!

【The road between enemies is narrow! 】

[They chose the next door, number two.]

Now that they have come to our doorstep, let’s hear what they are planning!

Having made up her mind, Shen Yuyao called the waiter again, added a few desserts and snacks, and gave the waiter a golden melon seed.

The waiter took the golden melon seeds and happily went to order more dishes. He had never seen such a generous young man before.

Xu Yunxuan was stunned. She hadn't even eaten much of the delicious dishes on the table.

Desserts and snacks are here again. Do they really want Xu Yunxuan to walk out with the help of the wall?

The key point is that this world does not consider fat to be beautiful, you have to lose weight after eating!

If you don’t eat, how can you have the energy to lose weight?

Xu Yunxuan shook her head, sat back at the table, and after thinking it over, she began to eat heartily.

Shen Yuyao moved to a seat closer to the next room. With the table full of delicacies from land and sea, she had no appetite at all.

【After eating a full meal...I started to feel sleepy. 】

[My mother seems to be eavesdropping, and I want to listen too...]

[Ah...I can't stand it, I'm so sleepy...]

After all, he was just a baby. As Xia Xiaoxian was talking, she squinted her eyes and fell asleep!

Zi Su quickly carried Xia Xiaoxian to the couch next to her and covered her with a white fur cloak.

Shen Yuyao smiled slightly, "Zi Su, you and Bai Zhi should also come to the table and eat some, I'm afraid you're starving."

Zi Su and Bai Zhi grew up with Shen Yuyao, and they often ate together at the table when there was no one else around.

So he didn't refuse and sat down with Baizhi to eat.

It would be such a waste not to eat all the delicious dishes on the table!

......

"The emperor is in court today and has demanded a thorough investigation!" The voice sounded particularly unfamiliar. I guess it's the Lord Lu who just took office.

"Third brother, has your Black Dragon Guard taken over the case of the empty seal?"

"Second brother just returned to the capital, and he is so well-informed."

Blank case?

Shen Yuyao remembered.

Some time ago, Prince Ning asked someone to bring a letter to the palace, in which he mentioned this case.

In the letter, Prince Ning said that the emperor accidentally discovered that officials from various counties who came to Beijing to pay taxes to the Ministry of Revenue actually carried blank documents with seals on them.

How can a seal representing authority be stamped on a blank document? Wouldn't the data in the document be forged at will?

The emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The civil and military officials in the court did not take it seriously, as all previous emperors had done the same thing. The officials used blank documents just for convenience.

Due to the vast territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, the distance from each county to the capital was long and transportation was inconvenient. All taxes paid were paid in kind, and there were often various losses on the way. When the accounts were found to be incorrect when they were transported to the capital, they had to return to the county to re-compile the accounts.

Therefore, officials from the Ministry of Revenue used this blank seal method, that is, they brought blank documents and filled them in according to the actual numbers checked by the Ministry of Revenue after arriving in the capital.

When the emperor demanded a thorough investigation in the court, the officials thought that it was just a momentary anger of the emperor and he would not really investigate the officials.

Prince Ning's letter also asked the princess if she had any news about the case in the palace.

I think Prince Ning was not sure how big an impact this case would have, so he wrote a letter to the princess to inquire.

And now, according to what is said next door, the Black Dragon Guards, whom the emperor relies on as his arms, have already got involved.

Then it will be just as Xiaoxianbao said, I don’t know how many officials will lose their heads because of this!
